Youth Mental Health First Aid Training

The 2 day Youth MHFA course is an internationally recognised course designed specifically for those people that teach, work, live with or care for young people aged 8 to 18 years.

You will learn how to:

Provide information, tools and techniques to promote a young person’s mental and emotional wellbeing
